Abstract
Pru p 3 has been suggested to be the primary sensitizing allergen in patients with peanut allergy in the Mediterranean area.1,2 We aimed to confirm this hypothesis, studying 79 subjects (median age, 28 years; age range, 25-35 years; 61% female). According to a clinical history of reactions within the last 2 years, 51 had peanut allergy with a positive skin prick test (SPT) response. Twenty-eight (sensitized group) had positive peanut SPT responses with no symptoms on peanut intake, as confirmed by an open challenge (20 g of roasted peanuts; Casa Pons, Importaco, Valencia, Spain).
